Denzel Dumfries move to Chelsea has been bubbling away in the background for some time now, but it could be about to boil over.
According to The Athletic, the circumstances around him appear “favourable to a swift deal,” and we can understand what they mean.
Chelsea, having faffed around all summer failing to get deals done, want to bring the right wing back in as soon as possible to start settling in to the squad as Reece James’ backup.
Inter, on the other hand, have yet to sell Milan Skriniar to PSG, and are keen to free up some cash for other manoeuvres.
Presumably the player will be happy to make the Premier League switch, along with a big pay rise.
When all parties are motivated for a quick deal like that, things can happen in just a day or two. With our season kicking off this weekend, it can’t come soon enough.
